4 Businesses Damaged In Midtown Sacramento Fire

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A comic-book store is one of four businesses damaged by a two-alarm fire that tore through a midtown commercial complex.

Smoke from the fire filled Big Brother Comics at 17th and J in Sacramento on Sunday morning.

The fire burned units on the first and second floor of the building.

With the hot weather, crews had to trade off tackling the flames.

"Our crews get very hot on a day like this dressed in full turnout, so we have to rotate crews through," said Chris Harvey with the Sacramento Fire Department.

At least 60 firefighters worked to put out the fire.

"They'll fight fire for 10 or 15 minutes, then they have to go to rehab, get their coats off, rehydrate, rest a little bit, then get dressed and get in, go back to work," Harvey said.

No one was hurt.
